Mango Coconut Cream Pie

Here is another one of my original recipes. I decided on yet another tropical pie to use fruits that are commonly grown in my country. This Mango Coconut Cream Pie is both refreshing and delicious. Best of all, there's no baking involved☺ I had tons of fun preparing it and hope you will too.

½ cup sugar (or less depending on tartness of mangoes)

¼ cup corn starch

1 egg yolk

Pour mixture into pie shell and allow to set.

Mango Filling:
